Educators warn that push for ‘equity’ will harm the most disadvantaged students
Teachers at a Virginia high school are pushing back against a plan to eliminate homework grades and extra credit in order to create a more “equitable” grading system.
Arlington Public Schools in October proposed the new system, which would also end penalties for late homework assignments. In a letter to the Arlington School Board and superintendent, teachers at Wakefield High School said the districtâs plan would hurt the very children it intends to help.
